For engineers who crave cutting-edge power in a familiar, compact footprint, the Allen & Heath Qu-5 is a game-changer. Building on the beloved Qu-16 design, the Qu-5 packs the formidable XCVI processing core from Allen & Heath's flagship mixers, delivering immense power and pristine 96kHz audio quality. It's the perfect blend of hands-on control and next-generation performance, designed to make complex mixes feel effortless without taking over your entire workspace.
Your Workflow, Elevated
The Qu-5 isn’t just about raw power; it’s about intelligent design that adapts to your needs. This mixer is engineered to streamline your process from soundcheck to encore, giving you the tools to create polished, dynamic mixes faster than ever before.
Powerful XCVI Core: At the heart of the Qu-5 is the same XCVI FPGA engine that drives Allen & Heath’s top-tier touring desks. This core provides 32 processing channels, ensuring you have more than enough power to handle demanding shows without breaking a sweat, all while maintaining exceptionally low latency.
A Touch of Genius: The vibrant 7-inch capacitive touchscreen is your command center. It offers intuitive, high-resolution control over routing, effects, and system setup, making it easy to navigate channels and make precise adjustments with just a tap or swipe.
Everything I/O Connectivity: The Qu-5 is ready for any scenario with its comprehensive rear-panel I/O. For those needing seamless integration into networked audio systems, the Qu-5D variant includes a built-in 16x16 96kHz Dante port, opening up a world of connectivity with other Dante-enabled equipment.
Studio-Quality Effects and Processing
Go beyond simple mixing and start sculpting your sound with a suite of world-class effects and processing tools. The Qu-5 brings Allen & Heath's acclaimed RackExtra FX library right to your fingertips, letting you add professional polish to any source.
Six Dedicated FX Engines: Say goodbye to compromising on effects. The Qu-5 features six dedicated stereo FX engines, complete with their own return channels. This means you can run lush reverbs, tight delays, and rich modulation effects simultaneously without eating into your input channels.
Dynamic Channel Processing: Every input is armed with a full suite of processing, including the renowned Qu-Pre preamps, a musical 4-band parametric EQ, a compressor, and a gate. This ensures you have all the tools needed to shape each instrument and vocal with precision.
Hands-On Control Built for Speed
The Qu-5 masterfully combines its deep digital capabilities with a tactile, hands-on interface that feels immediately familiar. Customizable controls and clear visual feedback allow you to focus on the mix, not the menu-diving.
Customizable Layers and SoftKeys: Tailor the mixer to your unique workflow. With four channel strip layers and eight programmable SoftKeys, you can arrange faders and assign critical functions for instant access, putting your most-used tools exactly where you need them.
Intuitive Channel Displays: Each channel features its own display, providing at-a-glance information on naming, color-coding, and key parameters. This immediate visual feedback keeps you oriented and in control, even during the most hectic moments of a live show.
Go Wireless with Free Apps: Take your mix on the move. With free remote control apps for Windows, MacOS, iOS, and Android, you can adjust monitors from the stage, tweak the FOH mix from the audience, or give performers control over their own monitor mix.
Elevate Your Mix
The Allen & Heath Qu-5 is more than just a mixer; it’s the central nervous system for your entire audio production. It offers the perfect marriage of compact design, intuitive control, and the kind of high-end processing power once reserved for the world’s biggest tours. For any engineer ready to step up their game without sacrificing space, the Qu-5 is the clear choice.
